I am a Mac Newbie, i presently use "Homesite" as my program of choice and would like to find something similar for my mac.. any ideas?

Homesite is basicly a "beefed up" text editor - with color coded tagging, etc.

i do not want a wysiwyg (frontpage, dreamweaver) program.

Thanks

BBEdit is good, if a little expensive.

I use SubEthaEdit. Awesome. Although I don't really use that many of the features in the bigger apps like BBEdit ( I probably ought to, I'd probably same time.)

What features other than syntax coloring did you use? I am going to assume that you don't want a command line one. If you want to get as close to Homesite as possible, I believe that running the X11 version of Bluefish with certain added modules is a pretty good clone.

Other apps worth mentioning are PageSpinner, and TacoHTML edit. Probably some more. And BBEdit.

The feature i use most (and rely on) is the imbedded FTP client... where i can basicly update the web page "live" on the remote web sever...

by the way.. after my 1st week with the P-Book I AM HOOKED! LOVE IT!

i haven't really read any of this thread, BUT, i just happened to have these two pages open in Safari, so i thought i'd post

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dav.html

http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/

think of it as zilla's xmas card to the web dev forum (bah, humbug!)

i hope the Mundy man has a great time, and that derbs dude too. oh, and hello to everyone who knows me.

i'd like to thank the academy...

Oh, uh... Phil? This thread is about WebDev (development)... not WebDAV.

BBEdit does this. I use that feature all the time.

One of the nice things about OS X is that apache is built right in. Instead of having to ftp your files to a server, you can simply enable personal web sharing on your powerbook and view the locally served pages instead. The url looks something like this: http://localhost/~username/path_to_files/

Another little tweak I use is to setup virtual hosts on my mac that allow me to point to separate directories for different websites I'm developing. By combining this with added machine names in NetInfo Manager (you could update your /etc/hosts/ file, but OS X looks to NetInfo first), things become a lot slicker. For example, instead of typing in: http://localhost/~username/directory/filename,
I can type: http://virtualhostname, and boom, the pages load.

Having full blown server processes available on your local machine can be a real time saver.

Just my 2 cents.

[EDIT]
Whoops! Just re-read your post and realized that you're using FTP when your done with a page. My bad.
